I have a 7 year old 50 gallon Bradford White propane water heater that just recently has started not producing enough hot water. I drain a couple of gallons from the tank regularly to make sure there is no sediment build up. The water is always clear. What else could be causing this lack of hot water problem? Just 2 adults in the household now so I know that we’re not pushing the limits of a 50 gallon tank. Thanks for any advice.

Kevin,
 Oops-a-daisy  , I was reading and replying to the wrong thing the right way.

Actually...I think Reggie probably hit the nail on the head with the first reply. Bradford-White made water heaters with the defective "Perfection" dip tubes from 1993 through 1997 so Roger's 7 year old heater would just fall into that range.
Roger?write down your model and serial number and give Bradford-White a call at Technical Support: 800-334-3393 . I believe it?s too late to join the class action lawsuit these defective dip-tubes created but BW may still want to help you.
